Such a good trip, I can't recommend it enough. Very easy to get to the starter funicular and then the cable cars. Loved the architecture of the stations. The flexibility of the all day ticket really worked too. Just amazing at the top, and lived spending time in the lower level on the deckchairs.

We had only a short time in Innsbruck so thought we'd make the most of it by taking the funicular and cable car to the top of Innsbruck. It was an incredible experience. The views were breathtaking. Never had we been anywhere so remote and yet so accessible than the Top of Innsbruck.

Just awesome! Really easy to use. Exciting ride on the cable car. Absolutely stunning views from the top of Innsbruck. Seegrube served excellent beers and food. Deck chairs were nice touch for photographs. We enjoyed the whole trip and would go again without hesitation.

I really enjoy such expansive viewpoints as the Top of Innsbruck. Beautiful views, beautiful mountains, and I happened to have beautiful weather. The entire infrastructure and the cable car operate very efficiently. I really enjoyed it 🙂

The transport was seamless and the views on the ride and st the top were breathtaking. It is like a very mini ski resort. There are also various designs of toboggans available for free which was fun for young and old. We were very disappointed with the zoo. The enclosures for the birds and animals were very small and we found it depressing for that reason.

I'm from St. Louis, Missouri and it was such a beautiful excursion to take the cable car to the first stop and then the gondola to the other stops. The hike to the top was tiring, but so worth it. We were fortunate to see a little goat and of course the views were spectacular!

Such an easy and well run journey from bottom to top and back. Made a great day out and a huge highlight to our trip to Austria!

This is your chance to experience the beautiful city of Innsbruck from the 2,300m-high "Hafelekar." From here, you’ll get to absorb the unique panorama of the country and its surroundings. Your journey starts at the heart of Innsbruck's old town with the unique Nordkette Funicular. Within just 30 minutes travel from the city to the Top of Innsbruck with the funicular and two panorama gondolas. Admire the elegant contrast between modern stations of the Nordkette funicular and the rugged mountainous landscape. As the bustle of the city gives way to the tranquility of the mountains, you’ll find yourself surrounded by the untouched, pristine vistas of Tyrol!

For an elevated experience above Innsbruck's cityscape, consider the optional upgrade to journey from the city center to the Seegrube. Perched high above the rooftops, the Restaurant Seegrube offers a delectable selection of traditional Tyrolean cuisine, accompanied by awe-inspiring vistas of the city below. You can also upgrade and opt-in for access to the Alpine Zoo. Finally, choose to save some money by selecting the happy hour tickets which give you a 20% discount if you enter before 9:30am or after 3:30pm.
